For project 3 I was going to do mine on the discourse community of cheerleading. Cheerleading has a lot of rules and skills that you don’t know about unless you are a part of that discourse community. I chose it because I already know a lot about it, so I thought it would be easy for me to write about. I was a member for 5 years, so I know a lot about cheerleading. There are also different types of discourse communities within cheerleading that I thought I could write about. There’s competitive cheerleading, then cheerleading for a school, which would be cheering for football or basketball. I would research some more facts about cheerleading. I could interview my friends that are cheerleaders, or one of my cheerleading coaches.
Good idea, Callahan. I recommend that you focus on a particular team, league, or some other specific cheerleading organization in which all its members regularly communicate.
